NI go VST 3

No scalable GUIs in this update

Ugh, the one thing I was really hoping for, honestly. It just baffles me...Kontakt has a scalable UI, but none of the plugins do. Baffling.

I'm probably wrong but I feel like these plugins have now a sharper-looking GUI (or it's just my imagination as I can't compare anymore), so maybe they redid it which means that maybe the next update will add resizing option.

Sounds promising and likely the next step.

I will update one or two and then try to do some comparisons with those that are not updated and Crush/Mod Pack (since they have scalable GUIs).

I noticed in the release notes they have added 'User Tracking' to all the VST3 updates...I wonder what that is?

I'm still happy using VST2 in all of my projects, but it's good that NI are pushing out updates none the less!

I hope they'll also add View Sizes to Replika XT.

Not sure if I'll start using the VST3 plugins or stick with VST2. It all depends on whether the VST3 plugins will give better performance in Maschine as that is my main VST host. Do the updates install new VST2 versions btw?

You guys think they make the UIs scalable?

Their newer plugins have various UI sizes.

Yeah I know, I'm just trying to not buy stuff I wont use right now, so Komplete is like a double edged sword. It's ofc still the best value proposition but I mean, the highest value is the VST you use .

Most DAWs - Live, Bitwig, Studio One, Cubase - will scale non DPI-aware plugins accordingly. They'll obviously be softer/blockier than native scaling, but on a 4K screen that's much less of an issue and they're usable.

Studio One's scaling never really worked for me. Haven't tried BitWigs yet!

Studio One's scaling never really worked for me.

Really? The only one I had issues with in Studio One was Loom2 from Air I believe. And I've a lot of plugins

Metrics to record data about most used functions in their plugins. A.K.A. "they listen to their users".

I thought all their plugins had that anyway though. So, not something they added with the VST3. Also note that it is optional, so, you can turn it off, if you feel like they shouldn't listen to your wishes.

Yeah! And for those that don't or for stand-alone versions, just use a screen magnifier FFS. Really don't know what's the problem here - though I blame it on Apple and their retina-washing. This, and we seem to be living in the Age of Entitlement...

Thanks. Looks like they drop some "safe" updates for the older plugins first, before doing the newer stuff.

Newer? Replika XT is 5 years old!

But maybe it's better to wait and see if there are issues with the first 15 VST3 plugins.

[chk071]

I consider 5 years old pretty new.

Slow industry.

And, yep @ your second sentence. I'm pretty sure that's the point of that kind of roll out.
